It was kind of amusing that in his section giving examples of what he said were various logical fallacies in the "vast majority of all media narrative around COVID-19" he committed several of those same fallacies, plus a few more.

It would be funnier if it weren't so common. Everything is a cudgel to people like him. Fallacies exist, not to introspect on one's own arguments, but to assail arguments you disagree with. Data exists only so long as it supports your conclusion and any data to the contrary or supports other conclusions is wrong. Never defend, always attack.
